How Polished Plastering Works
The Venetian or polished plastering technique is an intricate process which takes time and precision in order to achieve the desired effect. There is a great deal of skill and creativity required during the process to get the best results. There are four stages to the process
Stage 1 – A base coat of plaster is applied to the surface using random strokes to create a thin layer.
Stage 2 – Once the initial layer is dry and has settled a second coat is applied. The correct technique at this stage is to apply overlapping strokes to create the marble like effect. Once complete the second coat will require 24 hours before a third layer is applied.
Stage 3 – In order to achieve depth of colour and sheen a third coat is applied. This final coat makes the surface reflective and adds durability. 24 hours is again required before the finished burnishing effect can be created.
Stage 4 – The final stage is the most time consuming and creates a stunning, high quality polished marble effect. Depending on the style of plaster used a wax topcoat is applied for protection and extra shine.
